do you consider optimal tip placement to beÂ just above the diaphragm, like a UVC? Some of our neonatologists are asking for below the diaphragm due to concern about the tip moving into the heart when the babyÂ flexes its legs. I have also spoken with PICC inserters from another hospital who consider anywhere in the IVC OK. Is this addressed in INS standards?(Somebody has my copy) Thanks,
